My partner got mad at my show habit and it actually helped

He pointed out I was just staring at my phone during the last three episodes of 'The Bear' and missing everything. I felt bad because he was right, I was just scrolling. So I made a new rule: no phones during the first watch of any episode. It sounds simple, but it made a huge difference. I'm actually following the plot now. Does anyone else have rules to help them pay attention?

Honestly that rule sounds like a chore. Sometimes a show is just background noise while you decompress.

Saw a study on this, wood.uma. Phones wreck focus.

Tell that to my phone, which I just spent ten minutes scrolling on instead of watching the show. Jenny might be onto something.
